DESCRIPTION
Flexible range of shifts; the hours can include evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
Our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Looking to join a friendly, dedicated and welcoming team to make positive changes in young people's lives? Our Bank Support Worker roles are similar to our Support Workers roles, but they work on a more flexible, temporary basis – so if you don’t want to commit to a regular working pattern and prefer to pick up shifts that work for you, when they are available, this role is for you. It's also a great way into the organisation and can be a stepping stone into other roles.
Our Brighton & Hove Services provide supported accommodation for 50 young people at risk of homelessness across two sites - Lansworth House and Gareth Stacey House. They are both 24-hour supported housing projects offering high and medium levels of housing-related support for young people aged 16-25. We provide support to our residents to help them build essential life skills, identify their goals and work towards aspirations so that they can move on to enjoy fully independent futures. Each Support Worker holds a caseload of residents and meets with them weekly to build a support plan and help them achieve their goals.
We are looking for Supported Housing Bank Support Workers to join the team - you will bring your own individual and unique qualities to the team for the betterment of the team dynamic. You will contribute to the smooth and safe running of the services, along with supporting young people to develop living skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, managing behaviour, seeking and securing employment and making wise decisions. When required you will record any incidents, accidents and safeguarding issues and share information with relevant colleagues. You will also undertake housing management and health and safety-related tasks as required.
ABOUT YOU - We know that there are great candidates who will not fit everything described, or who have important skills we have not mentioned. If that is you, please do not hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
You will ideally have experience of working with a similar client group and a good understanding of the key risks, challenges and opportunities for young people. You will be able to inspire and work proactively with young people to develop their talents and achieve the skills they need to maintain their lives independently. An excellent planner and organiser, you will be able to manage lots of tasks at the same time and keep appropriate records. Furthermore, you will be able to build strong relationships with other members of your team and will make sure that handovers are robust and clear.
TO APPLY - Please scroll down the page to the application form.
An inclusive workplace - We are committed to policies and practices of equity, diversity, and inclusion and to supporting our people to make sure our culture is consistent with this commitment. We encourage applications from people from all sections of the communities that we serve.
Accessibility - If you require assistance or have questions regarding the application process, please contact us. If you require these documents in another format, please let us know.
